There aren't words enough to share how incredible it was to have Barb in my life. We shared our happiness and sorrows with each other throughout all the many year we knew each other. .When I saw her in April, I reminded her that it was her fault I came to Toronto. After years of seeing Donn once a month, she advised me "Fish or cut bait." So practical! She lives on in my heart and is one of the kindest people I have ever met.

Oh Barb, this is so painful. We were such good friends at 18! Working together, living together, going out together, laughter, silliness, singing to Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash, dancing, camping, living life large!! Such a wonderful life, marrying a great man like Tom, two beautiful children, awsome grandchildren. Such a creative person and a beautiful soul! My deepest condolances to your family and friends. Love Liz ( Let's go 'Out Sahara' one more time) xoxo

Tom and family, we just heard of Barbs passing. We are deeply saddened by it. Barb and I go way back, work buddies from her Prange days. And Dennis was Tom’s friend and roommate. She was always smiling and so much fun. She will be remembered fondly. With heartfelt Sympathy, Dennis and Suzette Staeven
